Market Orders


Market orders are the most basic Forex trading orders that are bought and sold for the current market price. With market orders, the transaction is done regardless of the price. The Forex trading software gives you real time prices, so you can decide exactly when to execute a market order with ease. Market orders are perfect for situations where you follow a certain currency up close. The minute you want to enter a position you can buy and sell the currency at a click of a button using Forex trading market order.
The main thing to remember about market orders is that they are executed for the current market price, and that this is beneficial if you want to instantly enter a position.
The process of placing Forex trading orders is like so:
1. First you specify the currency pair and the size of the deal. Let's say the EUR/USD pair quoted 1.2603/06, for 2 lots of $100 each.
2. Next you choose to either sell each EUR for 1.2603 USD (bid price), or choose to buy each EUR for 1.2607 USD (ask price).
3. Finally, the transaction is confirmed by your dealer. This only takes a few seconds for Forex trading orders.
